2017 - Differentiate
A brief recap of 2017 F2FEC
Differentiate
Your reaction to a situation, has the power…to change the situation itself.
Every organization starts with a bold idea. Ideas prevail when we have the conviction to proceed and work to execute well. This and more is true for each of you when you think about adding to your centers or growing your businesses. But we must be different, special and find our unique niche. In the room, we’ve talked about change, about staying relevant, about investing. But how will you continue to be the best and how will you continue to DIFFERENTIATE yourself from those who simply want to emulate your achievements?
Face 2 Face Entertainment Conference (F2FEC) was three days of intense, interactive business discussions, led by an array of the most accomplished professional in the industry. Through powerful group sessions and the willingness to share wisdom for the success of each other, you had exclusive access to the insights and trade secrets that keep your FEC profitable, relevant, and memorable.
